Does that mean this isn't possible, or I just need the S-video to RCA adapter and plug that into the VCR/DVD, right?

$50 later I got the audio hooked up, but nobody has an S-video-RCA connector.
That's all I need now.__________________

^^Haha, I just bought one of those. I actually bid on one from that seller, but I found one for cheaper and had to cancel my bid in the last 3 minutes. :P

Re: How do I connect my computer to my stereo?
ok justin.. i imagine you are more of a visual learner.. so lets see what we can do for ya...
1. the receiver is and audio/video receiver meaning that it can switch sources of audio and video signals.
method of connection...
- connect MONITOR out to a Video input on your TV. (svid / rca doesnt matter)
- connect the s-video on your dvd to the s-video on your receiver meant for DVD.
- connect the s-video on your pc to a video input on your receiver.. say video 1 for example.
now on your reciever you simple press DVD and the receiver will switch the source for video to your DVD and ouput it to "monitor".
press video 1 and it switches the source to the pc and outputs it to "monitor"
it will do the same thing with audio. now... depending on your pc, you might have a composite digital out port on the i/o panel (where the kb and mouse connects). if you have a single RCA plug there than that is digital out. simply connect that to video1-digital in. if not. do the MIC -> 2 rca plugs as mentioned, but attach it to video 1 audio inputs (the red/white plugs).
basically EVERYTHING goes to the receiver and it will switch to the desired (selected) source and output it.

My computer has an "S-video" plug on the back and my DVD player has an "S-video" plug on the back, but will that transfer video and audio? The one on the back of the DVD says "Output" though so I'm not sure if that would work? My receiver has 3 "S-video" plugs, one for "DVD in", one for "monitor out", and one for "video2 in".

Get a TIVO...you can run a TiVo server on your desktop and through your network run any music and display any photos you have on your comp thru your TiVo.
That and the TiVo is the best mother ------- invention EVAR!
